Abstract
The invention relates to a cable connector including a housing with a base substantially extending between a front side and a rear side of said connector and a first housing part mountable to said base such that said first housing part and a first portion of said base determine a cable passage configured to accommodate a ferrule arrangement of a cable. The cable passage includes at least one recessed portion configured to receive a corresponding protrusion of said ferrule arrangement or vice versa Accordingly a high density cable connector is obtained with improved cable relief performance.
Claims11
A cable connector comprising a housing with a base substantially extending between a front side and a rear side of said connector, a first housing part mountable to said base such that said first housing part and a first portion of said base determine a cable passage configured to accommodate at least a part of a ferrule arrangement of a cable, characterized in that said cable passage and said ferrule arrangement are provided with cooperating means for locking the ferrule arrangement in the cable passage, and a second housing part comprising one or more mount beams for mounting said second housing part to said first housing part, wherein said first housing part comprises a pressing structure to force said one or more mount beams into said cable passage.
